Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump drew criticism Friday for posting a video on social media that contained an image of President Biden drawn on the tailgate of a passing truck.
The Biden campaign was quick to condemn the video, saying it indicated physical harm to the Democratic president. Biden has portrayed his potential 2024 opponent as someone who freely invokes Nazi imagery regarding immigrants, while also emphasizing in his speeches that Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss ultimately led to the attack on the US Capitol.
“Trump regularly incites political violence, and it is time for people to take him seriously — just ask the Capitol Police officers who were attacked while protecting our democracy on January 6,” said Michael Tyler, Biden campaign communications director.
Trump campaign spokesman Stephen Cheung responded Friday night, saying: “That picture was on the back of a pickup truck that was driving on the highway. Not only have Democrats and lunatics called for vile violence against President Trump and his family, they are actually using the justice system as a weapon against him.
The US Secret Service issued a statement saying that it “does not confirm or comment on matters related to protective intelligence.”
The former president posted the video on his social media site, Truth Social. His comment said the video was taken on Long Island, New York, on Thursday, when Trump attended the funeral of a New York police officer who was killed during a traffic stop.
The published video shows a passing truck decorated with “Trump 2024” banners and flags calling for police support, with an image drawn on the back of the vehicle depicting Biden with his hands and feet bound.
Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. began trading on the stock market on Tuesday, with the valuation adding billions of dollars to Trump's wealth.
In his bid to return to the White House, Trump painted a horrific picture for the country if Biden obtains a second term.
“If I don't get elected, it will be a bloodbath for everyone — that's the least we can do. “It will be a bloodbath for the country,” he warned at a rally in Ohio earlier this month while speaking about the impact of offshoring on the industry. American cars.
Trump spoke of immigrants “poisoning the blood of our country,” echoing the rhetoric of Adolf Hitler. He once described his enemies as “vermin,” language that his opponents say reflects his authoritarian tendencies.
At a recent rally, Trump described Biden's handling of the border as a “conspiracy to overthrow the United States of America.”
Last year, before he was indicted in New York over money paid on his behalf during his 2016 campaign, Trump reposted a photo on social media of himself holding a baseball bat next to a photo of Boycott. Atty. Alvin Bragg.
In a 2018 speech, Biden discussed lewd comments Trump made about women, and registered his disgust by indicating a willingness to physically fight with the then-President.
“If we were in high school, I would have taken him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him,” Biden said at the time, adding that any man who disrespects women is “usually the fattest and ugliest in the room.” “
